Over the Moon(stone

Compiled by Bridget Williams

Boasting an internal structure that scatters light as strikes it (an optical phenomenon known as adularescence), it is not hard to fathom why Hindu mythology refers to moonstone as solidi ed moonbeams. Because of its lunar link, lore and legend have long ascribed moonstone with many helpful and healing attributes. Whether you are looking for a celestial boost or simply prefer the stone's ethereal aesthetic, these of-the-moment moonstone adornments certainly  t the bill.
